Joseph Ndo is the 'perfect fit' for Limerick who last night told Stephen Folan: 'You're going nowhere'. Mirror Sport revealed on Wednesday that ex-Cameroon international Ndo is joining the Munster club in a player-coach capacity. The veteran midfielder - a League of Ireland star for the past 11 years - has no future at Sligo Rovers under new boss John Coleman. But Martin Russell has swooped to secure a deal to bring the 38-year-old to the Super Blues ahead of today's transfer deadline. And the Limerick manager told Mirror Sport: "Joseph is on board. We're just finalising one or two things but he'll be coming to the club. "It's a great signing and it's a coup for us as Joseph has a lot to offer on and off the football pitch. "As a player, he's been injured for the last few months so he won't be going straight into the team or anything like that. "But he can still control and dictate a game and that's important to have in any team, so hopefully we can get him back fit." Ndo has won four league titles with three different clubs - twice with Shelbourne and one apiece with Bohemians and Sligo. He also bagged a hat-trick of FAI Cups with the Bit O'Red, a League Cup with Sligo and the Gypsies and scooped the PFAI Player of the Year in 2006. Ndo pondered retirement after the FAI Cup final win over Drogheda United last season but ploughed on for another campaign. However, it hasn't gone well as injury has restricted him to just seven league appearances, the last of which was under former Sligo boss Ian Baraclough in mid-April. And it's unclear if Ndo intends playing next year, but either way he'll be centrally involved as one of Russell's trusted coaches. Russell added: "He'll will have an important role on that side of things and with other aspects around the club. "He's been doing his coaching badges while playing and I really like his philosophy on the game. He'll be an exciting addition." But the new Super Blues boss insists star defender Stephen Folan won't be joining St Patrick's Athletic. As we revealed yesterday, the champions want the highly-rated ex-Newcastle United centre-back because of a defensive crisis. But Liam Buckley is set to be disappointed today as Russell has no intention of letting the 22-year-old Galway man go - for now. He said: "They're interested in Stephen and you can understand why, but he won't be going anywhere. "He's under contract and is also under-23 and we're a club that wants to be retaining players like that. "Stephen is an excellent defender but certainly on this side of the window, he won't be leaving us."
